The Oshin descen-dant family and other residents of Oshinboyede village in Ogijo town of Sagamu South Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Ogun State have called on Governor Ibikunle Amosun and the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to save them from the activities of land speculators, who are bent on dispossessing them of their inheritance.
At a press conference addressed by Prince Ganiyu Olowofela Adeniyi and Prince Olajide Okeowo Rosegun, Family Head and General Secretary of the Oshin descendants respectively, the villagers said a group of people, led by one Kasali Sadiku and ably assisted by a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), stormed the community on January 6, 2017 between 12.30am and 3am, and abducted three members of the family, including the family head, Prince Adeniyi, while armed thugs that came with them unleashed mayhem on the entire community.
“They did this with the intention of taking over our land. Kasali had earlier forced his son on the village as its Baale in spite of mass resistance from family members and residents of the community. This he also did as part of a grand plot to take over the family land, ably assisted by the land grabbers supported by the retired DIG.
“We plead that all those arrested in connection with the invasion of our peaceful community should not be allowed to go unpunished. We also insist that both Kasali and the retired DIG aiding and abetting him should be made to face the full wrath of the law,” Prince Adeniyi pleaded.
